Hello, A client has a domain (sample.com) which resolves to the IP 190.190.168.54 The MX records this domain point to another IP completely different: 64.233.171.27

you'll have to do some debugging to see if you have a DNS problem. - if you are not running a local DNS server, consider running one - if your DNS queries are forwarded to your SP, consider disabling this - if your postfix has chrooted services, consider disabling chroot. - if your system resolver has bugs, try from another system
The DNS table looks like
it doesn't matter how it may look like to you. if you want help, show the real domain.
